| Charles Kelly has not risen to such politi-
1 ell prominence as that attained by his
! brCtner, but il has been from lack of in
! clination rather than from lack of oppor-
unity. He is at present chairman of the
! Democratic Executive Committee of his
district, and chairman of the Board of
| Cou ty Commissioners of his county. In
POLITICS he is recognized as thorough
worker and in business ranks with Florida s
best men.
Both men enjoy the esteem and confidence
of the people Of Taylor county, and are
highly respected by all who know them
Although they have lived within a few
miles of the Georgia line, and have paid
frequent visits to their old home in Dawson,
they have never been molested. Realizing
that, despite their prominence, they were
nominally fugitives from Georgia Justice,
they have naturally felt that they would
like TO have the odium removed. For q
long time the vast majority of the people of
Terrell county have felt that a great injus-
tice had been done these two men, and at
the November term of the Superior Court,
last fall, movement looking TO a pardon
for them was begun.
The movement was begun by the mem
bers of Che grand jury, all of whom signed
the petition for pardon. Similar petitions
were signed by all the members of the Ter
rell county bar, by the Solicitor General, all
the county officers and about 800 of the best
citizens of Terrell county. 1t is said that
OF all the persons asked to sign such petit
ton not one refused.
These petitions We're reinforced by a per-
sonal letter from Judge d. B. Harrell, who
presided at the trial, and by special petit
tionS signed by oil the members Of the juries
which tried the Kellys.
These papers We're filed in Gov. Gordon's
Office sometime in February, and have since
been under his consideration. To the friends
who presented the matter, the Governor
the two men gave themselves up to the
State authorities

MISS WoLFE's LOVE STORY.
How $1,000 Happened to Come Be

How S. 900 Happened to Come Be-
tween Her and Husband.
Ne,c York Letter in Chicago Tribune
A genuinely solemn thing is the death of
Catharine Wolfe, the richest maiden lady in
the land. She was a genuine devotee of
religion and charity. Her obituaries have
ere this been printed everywhere. Stories
of the reason Of her celibacy, and imparting
a romantic tinge to it, are current in So
ciety. An intimate friend assures me that
they are not true. With millions upon
millions at her command from girlhood.
with the utmost refinement and goodness
Inherent in her nature, with family cOnnec-
tons of the proudest sort, her opportunities
for wiving herself advantageousiy were of
the best. But she never had the remotest
desire to marry. This feeling may have
been partly due to distrUst of all wooers,
for how could she know that they wanted
her rather than her money? But princi-
pally it arose from a genuine repugnance TO
wedlock.
She desired to maintain utter indie
pendence Twenty-Five years ago a Count
Falco came nearer to winning her than any
body before or since. He was an Italian.
and his title was all tight, though Counts
are of no great distinction in Italy. He had
been educated for the Catholic priesthood.

country. He protested to devote himself to
benevolent work, and gained Miss Wolfes
confidence in that way, and it was thought
that she almost, if not quite, accepted him

particular charity. He contiscated the fund
for his own use, and she detected the rob

II will never trust a man again, she said,

This seemed to become the fixed rule of
her life, and its operation necessitated

IN PERPLEXITX.

Sending good advice to Washington Is like
mourning water into rat hole. Democratic inca
pables pursue the uneven tenor of their way, and
Republicans are much too willing to give them
plenty of rope. After signing the Mexican
Pensions bill, because 1t was supposed to meet
a demand of many ex- COnfederates, the Presl-
dent has vetoed the Dependent Pensions DILL
which proceeded on the same theories and Is
open to the same objection as to uncertainty OF
meaning and operation. But the President
apparently feared that the two together Wouiu
pretty much extinguish the surplus revenue,
and leave no ground for the claim that
taxes ought to be reduced. AS Con-
Qress seems to be entirely incapable OF reducing
either taxes or salaries but has not yet sue
ceeded in creating enough more offices Tor good
Democrats to use up all the revenue the o'd
problem remains to plague the party III power.
1t would be rash to suppose that MI. handali
and Mr. Holman will allow the seaports to DO
defended, or permit the House to discuss the
Notifications bill passed by the Senate. AS to
education, if this House had to choose between
free schools and cheap whiskey, 1t clearly
would not choose free schools. Happily, the
free-school system was established by the Re-
try fragments of it still survive.
If we had an American Administration, per-
haps the country might spend little OF its
money wisely in building ships. But the pur-
chase of poor and unavoidable second-rate
plans from England Is not a hopeful step In
that direction. The number OF sons, brothers
in law, cousins and other relatives now quar-
tered at the public crib is tolerably large, but
it might be indefinitely increased enough to
satisfy most of the hungry and empty the en-
tire treasury, if the Senate were not In the
way. As it is, one hardly sees how the Demo-
cratic majority in the House is going to get rid
of the millions that remain, but there Is an
abiding confidence that in getting nd or mill
ions, if in no other way, this House Will be
found entirely capable.
1t is not strange that Mr.. Manning and Mr.
Jordan embrace the first opportunity to retire
from the Treasury Department, where they are
not wanted by their party In Congress
Whether any other Secretary or Treasurer can
be found who will devise measures to keep all
the greenbacks in circulation, and all the silver
dollars, and at the same time to force all the
silver certificates into circulation besides, with
out boarding gold or spending moro money
than he has right to spend, Is matter of
doubt. But he stands chance to be impeached
if he tries it and fails as Mr.. Manning has
DONE For Mr.. Weaver considers 1t a high
crime in the Secretary that he has not put three
pints of currency into pint cup of circulation.
and cannot believe that his herculean efforts
to that end were sincere.

treaty of 1918 Gin a fair and reasonable way
let the Ottawa Government take measures 10
have the Home Government rescind the exist
ing convention, and let America take the same
position az any other foreign country in regard
to Canadian fisheries. This, he adds, would
be simple settlement of the question and one
that would in all probability be very accept
able to the Dominion. Well, we doubt not
that it would be equally acceptable to the
United States. If the effect of the abrogati0n
of the treaty of 1918 be to restore the fishing
clauses of the treaty of 1888, Americans would
regain the rights enjoyed by them before the
war of 1912. If the effect be to abolish all
treaty law respecting the fisheries, they would
still profit largely by the resembling of the
convention. The British Government cannot
lay claim to the Atlantic Ocean its jurisdic-
ton ceases three miles from shore; and the
deep sea fisheries are the common property OF
the world. The treaty of 1918 does not confer
any practical benefits upon American fisher
men, and it is made the pretext for outrages
and persecution by the Canadian officials. The
United States Government would be in
stronger position if that treaty were to be
rescinded and its fishery rights were founded
wholly on maritime and commercial law.

Stocks advanced and grain and nor, do
cTined while cotton and other products remained
during the past week. No adc-
quatc explanation Of the advance in stocks an
pears except hc expansion of $I2. 800 600 in
loans during the past two weeks. but that nbc-
nOmenOn is not so strange us TO call for much
remark. Last year loans also advanced 80

to tho last Ill February. and under somewhat
similar circumstances. Prices had weakened
stocks about So per share in average nrice and

SPECTATORS were discouraged, but stronger on-
orators took hold, finding banks willing TO
employ money not then needed in ,radc and
made a large advance IN wheat when the short
crop scare came in March. though the attempt
10 advance stocks did not succeed until the
latter part Of June. when the safety of the new
crops was assured. This year loans coual,v
large have been made, and no such exhaustion
in the requirements OF industry or in the vol
ume of legitimate trade is seen as 10 reauirc
the sudden increase. The current exclamation
is that somebody has been obliged 10 take the
stocks returned from Europe. But in that case
where is the money paid for them! II has not
gone abroad in specie ; though nearly a mlllion
in coin went ont last week TO all quarters, inn
